    Five things to visit in Prague

    Prague also known as "city of a thousand spires." As you look over its
    1,100-year-old skyline you'll notice countless splendid views of lovely
    domed churches and soaring old towers that combine to make Prague
    one of Europe's architectural gems. Everywhere you look, you will
    astonish with extraordinary Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, and Art
    Nouveau styles that enrich the city. Prague with one of the best-
    preserved historic city centers in Europe and old homes and historical
    buildings which are just waiting to be explored. Must-sees include the
    famous Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, The Old Towns Square
    and many other places which this essay will present it to you.

    1. Explore the Old Town Square


    The historic center of Prague, the Old Town (Staré Město), is where
    you'll find the magnificant Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí),
    one of the best places to begin exploring the city. You’ll not only find
    the scary looking Gothic Tyn Church there but also the world famous
    Astronomical Clock. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it
    the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still
    working, along with numerous other fine old churches and various
    street performers, musicians and merchants that line the streets here
    will certainly keep you entertained.

    2. Stroll across the Charles Bridge


    One of the most recognizable old bridges in Europe, magnificent
    Charles Bridge (Karlův Most) boasts 32 unique points of interest
    along its 520-meter span. Built in 1357, the bridge has long been the
    subject of a great deal of superstition, including the builders having
    laid the initial bridge stone on the 9th of July at exactly 5:31am, a
    precise set of numbers (135797531) believed to give the structure
    additional strength (for added good measure, it was constructed in
    perfect alignment with the tomb of St. Vitus and the setting sun on the
    equinox).
    3. Take a picture in front of the Lennon wall
    Perhaps one of Eastern Europe's most unlikely attractions that get
    changed everyday. Prague's Lennon Wall has stood since the 1980s as
    a tribute to former Beatle and peace campaigner John Lennon. The
    wall has been covered in John Lennon and The Beatles graffiti, lyrics
    and quotations since the 1980s and is very popular among tourists and
    young fans wishing to pay homage to the group. Despite police efforts
    to erase the graffiti the memorial wall kept reappearing and, along
    with Lennon's lyrics, the site became a symbol of hope and peace for
    the city's population.

    4.Take a walk around the Prague Castle


    The Prague Castle (Pražský hrad), once the home of Bohemia's kings,
    is today the official residence of the Czech Republic's President. The
    castle buildings span centuries and consists of a royal palace, a
    cathedral and three churches, a basilica, a monastery, defensive
    towers, royal stables, a tiny lane where craftsmen worked. Originally
    built as a walled fortress around 970 AD, the castle has changed
    dramatically over the years and contains examples of most of the
    leading architectural styles of the last millennium.

    5.Climb on the Petrin hill


    Petrin is a hill on the left bank of the Vltava River, it offers great
    views of the city and is one of the greenest spaces in Prague. It is a
    pleasant walk to the top of the hill and with planty of admiring the
    view on the way up. Alternatively, you can ride the funicular railway
    to the top of Petrin Hill.

    By visiting all of the above mentioned you will come accros many
    other hidden gems that Prague possesses, that will give you
    unforgetable memory and desire to visit it again. Although it is
    possible with a city tour to get an overview of Prague in one day, we
    would recommend a minimum of three nights and two full days in
    Prague—devoting one day to each side of the river.
